Current subscribers see the hike after September 17, while annual and promo subscribers keep existing rates until renewal. This is Peacock's fourth price increase since its 2020 launch. Why: Negligible practical impact for this audience. The only builder-relevant detail is Peacock's use of real-time AI-driven cropping for vertical live-game streams and an AI-curated vertical-video feed, but these are consumer product features with no tooling, API, or infrastructure implications for developers or founders. streaming consumer-pricing ai-video-cropping
